WSOF 26 “Palmer vs. Almeida” is set to take place Friday, Dec. 18,
at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The show will also feature a
205-pound co-main event pitting “King of the Ring” Tyrone
Spong against former University of Hawaii football player
Jake
Heun.

Palmer has won three in a row since dropping his WSOF debut to
Georgi
Karakhanyan nearly two years ago. Most recently, “The Party”
submitted Chris
Horodecki with a first-round neck crank at WSOF
21 in June.

Almeida compiled a 7-2 record in nine bouts under the Jungle Fight
banner between 2012 and 2013. The Manaus native made the jump
stateside in October, when he used a rear-naked choke to tap
Saul
Almeida in just 83 seconds at WSOF
24.

Spong will return to MMA after more than two years away from the
cage, during which he has competed in kickboxing and boxing,
suffered multiple injuries and served as coach for the
Florida-based Blackzilians team. In the time since Spong’s last MMA
bout, Heun has competed four times, going 3-1 with one knockout and
one submission.
